For my card share today I decided I needed to use all the potted florals or flowers in vases from the stamp set and created a custom stamped background with simple stamped and embossed sentiment strips on top. Even the Modern Rose Blooms Background Stamp makes an appearance as a very lightly stamped background. I can't say enough great things about these amazing stamps, y'all! They are my favorites!

Greetings from the Mandy's Flower Shed Stamp Set were stamped on Slate Cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat set with white embossing powder before being trimmed into thing strips and adhered to the card with foam adhesive strips.

The mini Bubblegum Blush Nuvo Crystal Drops from the kit were used to embellish some of the greenery on the background images to finish the card.

The mask was removed and the ink blending tool was used to add some color to the center of the circle shape.

Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers were used to color in the images as shown. The great thing about using water based markers over water based ink is that they are very forgiving.

A scripty sentiment from the Mandy's Flower Shed Stamp Set was stamped in the center of the circle frame. Another sentiment from the stamp set was stamped on black cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing ink before being trimmed into a thin strip and adhered to the design with foam adhesive.

Hello friends! I can't get enough of the One Cool Pineapple Stamp Set from the July 2018 Simon Says Stamp Card Kit, can you?!!! Fantastic designs and sentiments perfect for summer. I couldn't pick just one image so I decided to make three inlay style cards today with three of the images from the stamp set and three greetings. The previously release Grid Frame was the perfect way to frame up my watercolored and embossed resist panels in the center of the design.

Sentiment strips were created with colorful cardstock and greetings from my favorite You Got This Stamp Set. The colorful sentiment strips compliment the color and design of the cards perfectly.

The frames for all three cards were die cut using the Grid Frame and adhered to the front of each card and inlaid with die cut pieces from other cardstock colors for a "tiled" frame look.

Images and sentiments from the One Cool Pineapple Stamp Set were stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock (also cut with the Grid Frame) using clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The images were colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and the markers were also used with a water brush pen to created a wash to paint around the image and over the stamped and embossed sentiment for embossed resist.

Once dry, the panel was inlaid into the frame as shown.

Phrases from the You Got This Stamp Set were stamped on colored cardstock with clear embossing ink, embossed with white embossed powder, trimmed into thin strips, and adhered to the card with foam adhesive strips as shown.

This trio of cards was inspired by THIS card HERE. Where the original card features stamping and lots of watercoloring, these cards feature the patterned paper from the kit and die cutting. These come together so fast and easy! My favorite thing about these cards is that no matter the theme or occasion, this design works. I used sentiments from the Beautiful Flowers Stamp Set for a thank you, birthday, and love themed card.

For my first card share using the June 2018 kit, I'm watercoloring the gorgeous large floral image from the Beautiful Flowers Stamp Set and adding a simple gold inlay thin frame, dimensional gold sentiment, and gold embossed stamped greeting for this elegant friendship card.

A thin frame was die cut from the Tonic Gold Pearl Cardstock from the kit using the Simon Says Stamp Frames Die and also cut from the floral watercolored background. The watercolored frame was discarded and the outer frame, gold frame and center panel were adhered to a white side fold card base as shown.

I absolutely love the Everything Together Stamp Set from the May Card Kit! The greetings, the flowers...it's one of my all time fav's! I created an almost one layer card with the flowers, leaves and large greetings from the stamp set and added a thin stamped sentiment strip using phrases from the Messages For Everyday Stamp Set. This simple design packs a big punch and would look great with whatever color combination speaks to you! While I had all my supplies out I went ahead and stamped two identical panels, just switching up the greetings used on each. I could have easily stamped as many backgrounds as I needed or created a whole set of cards to give as a gift.

I trimmed smooth white cardstock to 4" x 5 1/4" and stamped the flowers, leaves, and dots from the Everything Together Stamp Set fusing the Melon and Spring Rain cubes from the May Card Kit and adding in Watermelon and Duckling inks from my stash to round out the design. The MISTI makes stamping these in the same place on each background, or stamping the image multiple times so easy and precise every time!

Once the backgrounds were finished, I stamped two of the large greetings from the Everything Together Stamp Set in the middle of each design using Versafine Onyx Black Ink.

The panels were adhered to white top fold card bases to complete the designs.

Today I'm sharing a couple of clean and simple cards that feature mostly pre-made product from the May Kit: patterned papers and epoxy stickers! I also incorporated a bit of stamping and die cutting to round out these pretty cards.

Pink Fresh Let Your Heart Decide epoxy stickers from the kit were placed along the border on each card, slightly overlapping some of the hearts as shown.

Sentiment phrases from the Take Heart Stamp Set were stamped on smooth white cardstock with black ink and stamped on black cardstock with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The greetings were trimmed into thin strips and adhered to the cards with foam adhesive.
